New England

Chris and I try to savor every awesome moment in life, knowing that things could change in a heartbeat. A major change is right around the corner, courtesy of the Air Force with another in one year. Chris is leaving for Korea in a couple of weeks. He's been downloading our home videos to his computer so he can watch and watch and watch them again. I, on the other hand, have been trying to take pictures of each and every little thing--not so much for him, but for our kiddos. Our time in Massachusetts will be gone in one year and although I am excited about our next assignment, I am going to miss so many things that are truly "New England." One thing is the ice cream. Before living out here the only ice cream I'd known were chain stores or the ice cream available in grocery stores. My eyes were opened. We've frequented several little ice cream places, including the Ben and Jerry's factory in VT. Our new favorite place is Meola's Wayside Ice Cream. It is within walking distance from our new home, which Claire loves and it has awesome ice cream, which I love. We don't give Mya sweets or really junk of any kind, but we let her try some ice cream tonight. She was in heaven.

There is a Meola's right down the road from my house....delicious!! JP won't go because one summer he asked the girl to add an extra scoop to his cone and she wouldn't because she didn't know how to charge him for it...I on the other hand go all the time.

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

Bouncing Crazyiness!

I do alot of online shopping. When you live overseas, you have to. The BX is thrilling, yes, but it changes out the merchandise only so often ;) When it comes to clothing, if you shop at the BX (which I do as well), you can be guaranteed that at least 3 other people will be seen in the same item. Take for example this little gray vest that I bought. The other day, 2 other teachers showed up in the same one. Thankfully, I hadn't worn mine that day, but you get the point. Anyway, several places do not ship overseas. That's where my Mom comes in. I typically have the stuff mailed to her house and she graciously mails it to us. Readdressing the boxes, running to the post office and mailing our stuff is a major pain. I know this, but she's been so great about it. Priority mail is the way to go. She generally mails it priority and we recieve it in a week to ten days. However, I ordered a "jumpy jump" as Claire calls it, well before Christmas. Since it was so heavy and s...
